Chapter Two Principle of Electronic Fuel Injection System

I. Overhaul of System Components

1. Intake Air Temperature Pressure Sensor

1.1 Function of the sensor:


Detect air intake pressure and temperature in air intake manifold, which will be provided to
ECU as main load signal of engine; ECU will calculate injection pulse-width based on this signal.
1.2 Principle of the sensor:
Intake air temperature pressure sensor is a sensor that integrates an intake air pressure sensor
and an intake air temperature sensor. Absolute pressure sensor element of intake manifold is
composed of a silicon chip. A pressure diaphragm is etched on the silicon chip. On the pressure
diaphragm, there are 4 piezo-resistances, which serve as strain sensors and constitute a Wheatstone
bridge. In addition to this pressure diaphragm, a signal processing circuit is also integrated on the
silicon chip. The silicon chip and a metal housing constitute a closed reference, where the absolute
pressure of the gas inside approaches to zero. Thus, a micro-electronic mechanical system is
formed. The active face of the silicon chip stands a pressure close to zero, while its back face stands
the pending measuring intake manifold absolute pressure introduced by a connecting pipe. The
thickness of the silicon chip is merely several µm, so the absolute pressure change in intake manifold
will bring mechanical deformation to the silicon chip. The 4 piezo-resistances will accordingly
deform and their resistances also change. The voltage signal in linear relation to the pressure is
formed after process by the signal processing circuit on the silicon chip. The intake temperature
sensor element is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistance, which will change with the
intake temperature. This sensor sends out a voltage indicating the intake temperature change to the
controller.

1.3 Parameters of technical features
This sensor is designed to be mounted on the plane of auto engine intake manifold. The
pressure connecting pipe together with the temperature sensor protrudes inside the intake manifold
and an O gasket is used to enable atmosphere-proof.
If it is mounted on an auto through an appropriate method (picks up pressure from the intake
manifold and the pressure connecting pipe tilts down etc.), it can be ensured that no condensed water
will be formed on the pressure-sensitive element.
Drilling and fixing on the intake manifold must be carried out according to the supply drawing
so as to ensure a long seal and a good tolerance to fretting by agent.
The reliable contact of electric connection of a joint will mainly be affected by the joints of
components and parts, and it is also in relation to the material quality and dimensional precision of
the joint fitted with it on the harness.
1.4 Failure effects and judgment method
l Failure effects: spark extinction and poor idling etc.
l General Failure Reason:
1. Abnormal high voltage or inverse strong current occur during working;
2. The vacuum element is damaged during maintenance.
l Maintenance precautions: during maintenance, impinge using high pressure gas toward the
vacuum element is prohibited; when replacing the sensor after a failure is found, remember to
check if output voltage and current of the generator is normal.
l Simple measurement method:
1.4.1 Temperature sensor:
With the joint removed, turn the digital multimeter to Ohm shift, and then connect the two
meter pens respectively to 1# and 2# pins of the sensor; At 20℃, the rated resistance should be 2.5
kΩ±5%, and the other corresponding resistances can be measured out from the characteristic curve
in above chart. Analogue method can also be used when measuring, i.e., use an electric drier to blow
the sensor (be careful not to be too close to the sensor), and then observe the change of the sensor
resistance. At this point, the sensor resistance should fall.
1.4.2 Pressure sensor:
With the joint connected, turn the digital multimeter to DC Voltage shift, and then connect the
black pen to ground while the red pen respectively to 3# and 4# pins. Under idle speed state, 3# pin
should have a 5V reference voltage while the voltage on 4# pin should be around 1.3V (the actual
value depends on the model); Under no load state, when opening the throttle slowly, the voltage on
4# pin may change little; when opening the throttle rapidly, the voltage on 4# pin may reach around
4V instantly (the actual value depends on the model) and then fall to around 1.5V (the actual value
depends on the model).
2. Tachogenerator of Engine

2.1 Function of the sensor:


As one of the uppermost sensors of engine, the tachogenerator of engine provides ECU with rev
signal, acceleration signal and crank angle signal etc. of engine. ECU will calculate injection
pulse-width, injection time and ignition timing through these signals and provide the instruments
with rev signal of engine.
2.2 Principle of the sensor:
The inductive tachogenerator work together with pulse disc, it is used in ignition system
without distributor providing engine speed and crank shaft top dead center information.
Inductive tachogenerator is made up of a permanent magnet and coil outside of magnet.
Pulse disc is a tooth disc with 60 teeth originally but there are two teeth opening. Pulse disc is
assembled on crank shaft and rotate with crankshaft. When the tooth tip passes through closely the
end of the inductive engine tachogenerator, the pulse disc made of the ferromagnetic material will
cut the line of magnetic force of the permanent magnet in the inductive engine tachogenerator to
generate inductive voltage in the coil as engine speed signal output.

2.5 Failure effects and judgment method:


l Failure effects: start failure etc.
l General cause of the failure: man induced failure.
l Maintenance precautions: during maintenance, the tachogenerator should be installed by using
press-in method instead of hammering method.
l Simple measurement method:
1. With the joint removed, turn the digital multimeter to Ohm shift, and then connect the two
meter pens respectively to 2# and 3# pins; At 20℃, the rated resistance should be 860Ω±10%.
2. With the joint connected, turn the digital multimeter to AC Voltage shift, and then connect the
two meter pens respectively to 2# and 3# pins of the sensor; start the engine and voltage output
should be present at this point. (Inspection with vehicle oscilloscope is recommended).

3. Phase Sensor

3.1 Function of the sensor:


Provide ECU with phase signal, i.e. help crankshaft position sensor of engine to judge it is then
at compressing top dead center or air exhaust top dead center.
3.2 Principle of the sensor:
The phase sensor is consisted of the Hall generator installed on the valve cover and the signal
wheel machined on the intake camshaft. When the camshaft rotates, the signal wheel will make the
magnetic flux passing the Hall generator change, thus generating a variable Hall signal.

3.3 Effects and judgment method:
l Failure effects: over proof emission and fuel consumption rise etc.
l General cause of the failure: man induced failure.
l Simple measurement method:
(connect the joint) switch on ignition switch but do not start the engine; put digital multimeter on DC
volt shift, connect two meter pen to No. 1 and No. 3 sensor connectors and make sure there is 12V
reference voltage. Start the engine, check if it is in good conditions of No.2 pin by oscillograph on
vehicle.

4. Water Temperature Sensor

4.1 Function of the sensor:


The water temperature sensor simultaneously provides ECU and instruments with water
temperature signal. ECU will calculate and regulate injection pulse-width and ignition advance angle
through water temperature signal. In addition, through water temperature signal, ECU also can
control turn-on and turn-off of cooling fan to prevent engine from damage caused by overheat.
4.2 Principle of the sensor:
The water temperature sensor is a minus temperature coefficient type electric resistance model
sensor; the higher the temperature is, the less the resistance will be. But, temperature rise and
resistance fall are not in linear relation.

4.4 Installation attentions


Coolant temperature sensor is installed on the cylinder body and the copper heat conducted
socket is inserted into coolant. There are thread on the socket, and screw in coolant temperature
sensor onto the threaded hole on cylinder block by the hexagon head of the socket. The maximum
permissible tightening torque is 15Nm.

4.5 Failure effects and judgment method


l Failure effects: starting difficulties etc.
l General cause of the failure: man induced failure.
l Simple measurement method:

With the joint removed, turn the digital multimeter to Ohm shift, and then connect the two
meter pens respectively to 1# and 2# pins of the sensor; At 20℃, the rated resistance should be
2.5kΩ±5% and the others can be measured out from the characteristic curve in above chart.
Analogue method can also be used when measuring, i.e., dip the working area of the sensor in boiled
water (dip for adequate time), observe the resistance change of the sensor, at this point, the resistance
should fall to 300Ω-400Ω(the actual value depends on the temperature of the boiled water).
5. Knock Sensor

5.1 Function of the sensor:


The knock sensor provides ECU with knock signal. When the engine generates knock, ECU
will control to gradually reduce ignition advance angle to eliminate the knock; when no knock
occurs during certain strokes, ECU will gradually increase ignition advance angle to enable the
engine to obtain max. torque.

5.2 Principle of the sensor:


Knock sensor is a kind of vibrating acceleration sensor and is assembled on cylinder block.
Either single or multiple can be installed. The sense organ of the sensor is a piezoelectric element.
The vibration of cylinder block is transferred to piezoelectric crystal by mass block inside of sensor.
The piezoelectricity crystalloid gets pressure from mass block vibration, producing voltage on two
polar and transferring vibration signals to voltage signal and output it. See the following frequency
response characteristic curve. Because the frequency of knock vibration signal is much higher than
the normal engine vibration signal, the ECU can separate the signal into knock signal and non-knock
signal.

5.3 Attentions
Knock sensor has a hole in the middle, through which it is fastened on the cylinder by a M8 bolt.
For the aluminum alloy block, using long bolt with 30 mm; for the casting iron, using 25mm bolt.
The tightening torque is 20±5Nm. The installation position should ensure that the sensor is liable to
receive vibration signals from all cylinders. Decide the optimal installation position of knock sensor
through modal analysis to the engine body. Generally, for a 4-cylinder engine, the knock sensor is
installed between 2# cylinder and 3# cylinder; for a 3-cylinder engine, it is installed at the center of
2# cylinder. Do not let liquid such as engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and water etc. contact the sensor
long. Use of gasket of any type is not allowed in installation. The sensor must cling to the cylinder
tightly through its metal surface. During wiring of sensor signal cables, do not make the signal
cables resonate; otherwise, they may break. Be sure to prevent turning on of high voltage between 1#
and 2# pins of the sensor; otherwise, damage to the piezoelectric element may occur.

5.4 Effects and judgment method


Failure effects: poor acceleration etc.
l Reasons for general failures: long time contact of liquid such as engine oil, coolant, brake fluid
and water etc. with the sensor, which may corrode the sensor.
l Maintenance precautions: (see installation attentions)
l Simple measurement method: (remove the joint) put digital multimeter at ohm shift, and contact
the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 pin with its two meter pens. The resistance value should be more
than 1MΩ¸ under normal temperature. Leave the digital multimeter at millivolt shift, and tap
around the sensor using little hammer, there should be voltage signal output.

6. Electric Throttle Body

6.1 Function:
The electronic throttle body can automatically open or close the throttle according to the
driver’s will to apply the accelerator pedal to let the engine work under the corresponding operating
mode. The electronic throttle has cancelled the conventional throttle guy and the opening of throttle
is controlled by ECU based on the signal from accelerator pedal and other signals (such as A/C,
power assisted steering, back and gearshift etc.) through an electronic step motor inside the
electronic throttle body. In addition to cancel of conventional idle speed by-pass and idle speed step
motor, there are also throttle position sensors on the electronic throttle body to feed back the opening
of the throttle. This suite of throttle position sensor is different from the common one; totally two
suites of throttle position sensors are installed inside the electronic throttle body to monitor
rationality of the signals from the latter; when any problem occurs in a certain signal, ECU can still
use the other suite of signals to work on.
6.2 Working principle:
The throttle driving motor is a micro motor, which is composed of multi steel stators in a circle
and a rotor, with one coil on each steel stator. The rotor is a permanent magnet with a nut at its center.
All stators coils are constantly power on. As long as the direction of current of one coil is changed,
the rotor will turn a certain angle. When the directions of current of all stator coils is changed in a
proper order, a rotating magnetic field is formed, which will drive the rotor made from permanent
magnet rotate along a certain direction. Its principle is just that of a micro direct current motor.
This motor drives a suite of special gear reducing mechanism and a bidirectional spring; when
the system is under power off condition, this mechanism can ensure that the opening of throttle valve
plate maintains at a safe position where is bigger than that for idle speed but not too high, so that the
vehicle can continue to run; if engine ECU has entered this failure mode, when applying the
accelerator pedal, the valve plate of the electronic throttle body will no longer act.

Electronic throttle
6.3 Failure diagnosis:
ECU can monitor short-circuit and break of coil of the throttle driving motor, and light the engine
failure light in case of such failure to let the engine enter failure mode, when the engine fails to
accelerate, has very poor driving performance and needs maintenance immediately.

7. Oxygen Sensor

7.1 Function of the sensor:


Oxygen sensor is one of the principal sensors on modern autos; it can feed back the mixture
strength by detecting oxygen content in exhaust gas. ECU will correct the mixed gas based on the
signals fed back by the oxygen sensor, i.e. control injection pulse-width to let the mixed gas always
maintain an approximately ideal air-fuel ratio (14.7:1).
7.2 Principle of the sensor:
Sensing element of oxygen sensor is a kind of ceramic tube with holes, and outside of tube
walls are surrounded by engine exhaust gas and inside is air. Ceramic sensor element is a kind of
solid state electrolyte with electrical heating tube inside (as shown in the figure).

Excessive air-fuel ratio λ

Characteristic Curve of oxygen sensor at 600°C

The operation of the oxygen sensor is achieved by converting the concentration difference of
oxygen ion between inside and outside of the ceramic sensor element to the voltage signal output. It
bears the characteristic of solid electrolyte once the temperature of the ceramic sensor element
reaches 350℃. Because of the particularity of its materials, the oxygen ion can pass the ceramic
sensor element freely. Taking advantage of this characteristic, the concentration difference will be
converted to electric potential difference to form electric signal output. If the mixed gas is
comparatively thick, the oxygen ion thickness difference between inside and outside of the ceramic
tube will be higher and the potential difference will also be higher, then a mass of oxygen ion will
move from inside to outside, so, the output voltage is comparatively high (close to 800mV-1000mV);
If the mixed gas is comparatively thin, the oxygen ion thickness difference between inside and
outside of the ceramic tube will be smaller and the potential difference will also be smaller, then just
a few of oxygen ion will move from inside to outside, so, the output voltage is comparatively low
(close to 100mV). The signal voltage will mutate near theoretical equivalent air-fuel ratio (λ=1), see
the figure above.

Main relay 者 87#

Oxygen sensor

Every oxygen sensor bears a cable and the other end of the cable is the wire connector. The wire
connector of oxygen sensor produced by our company has four pins:
No.1 connects to the positive pole of heater power supply (white);
No.2 connects to the negative pole of heater power supply (white);
No.3 connects to signal negative pole (gray);
No.4 connects to signal positive (black).

7.3 Parameters of technical features


l The requirement to exhaust pipe: the segment of exhaust pipe in the area before the oxygen
sensor must be heated up rapidly. If possible, the exhaust pipe should be designed to be tilting
down to avoid accumulation of condensed water in front of the oxygen sensor.
l Do not inappropriately heat up the metal snap ring of the cable at oxygen sensor side, especially
after the engine is shut down.
l Do not apply purge fluid, oiliness fluid or volatile solid on connector of the oxygen sensor.
l The screw thread of the oxygen sensor is M18×1.5.
l The size of the hexagonal head wrench for the oxygen sensor is 22-0.33.
The tightening torque for the oxygen sensor is 40-60Nm.

7.4 Failure effects and judgment method


l Failure effects: poor idling, poor acceleration, over proof tail gas and excessive fuel
consumption etc.
l General causes of the failure:
1. Moisture entering inside of sensor, and when the temperature is changed, the pin will be
broken;
2. The oxygen sensor “intoxicates”. (Pb, S, Br, Si)
Maintenance precautions: application of cleaning fluid, oiliness fluid or volatile solid on the
oxygen sensor during maintenance is prohibited.
l Simple measurement method:
1. Remove joint, put digital multimeter to ohm shift, connect meter pen to No.1 (white) and
No.2 (white) pins of the sensor. The resistance value is 1~6Ω at constant temperature.
2. With the joint connected, under idle speed state, when the working temperature of the oxygen
sensor reaches 350℃, turn the digital multimeter to DC Voltage shift and connect the two meter pens
respectively to 3# (gray) and 4# (black) pins; at this point, the voltage should fluctuate rapidly
between 0.1-0.9V.
8. Fuel Pump Assembly

8.1 Function of fuel pump:


Fuel pump is used to deliver the fuel in the fuel tank to inside the engine at a certain pressure
for combustion. It also needs to regulate the fuel pressure duly as required by system pressure (non
fuel return type). Generally, the system fuel pressure provided by fuel pump is around 3.5-4bar.
8.2 Operating principle of fuel pump:
The electrical fuel pump is comprised of the DC motor, vane pump and end cover (integrates
check valve, relief valve and anti-electromagnetic interference element) as shown in following
figure.
The pump and the motor are installed on the same shaft within same closed housing. The pump
and electromotor are full of gasoline for coolant and greasing inside of the casing. The accumulator
provide power to electric fuel pump via fuel pump relay, and the relay switches on electric fuel pump
only when engine starting and running. When the engine stops for some reason, the pump will stop
to run by itself.
The max pressure at the outlet of the electrical fuel pump shall be between 450 and 650 kPa,
depending on the relief valve. Because the system is a non fuel return system, the pressure of the
whole fuel system will be controlled by the fuel pressure regulator. The value is 400KPa in general.
The electric fuel pump has different flow to the engine’s request. In order to facilitate the
production, the electromotor revolutions of EKP13 series electric fuel pumps of the same structure
are adjusted by changing the coil’s number of turns, and thus the flow is adjusted. Therefore, do not
apply an electric fuel pump for one model to another at will.

8.3 Parameters of technical features


Under certain fuel supply pressure, the flow of the electric fuel pump is in direct proportion to
voltage. The fuel pumps used by complete vehicle manufacturers are different.
8.4 Installation attentions
EKP13 series electric fuel pump can only be used inside fuel tank. When installing the fuel
pump, the filter net at fuel inlet with mesh size not bigger than 60µ or arranged with the customer
must be installed. Be careful not to let the fuel jet from air vent spray on the filter net at fuel inlet,
fuel pump bracket or fuel tank wall. Be careful when carrying the fuel pump. First, be sure to protect
the filter net at fuel inlet from load and impact. The fuel pump should be taken out of the plastic
wrapping material with care only when installing. The viser can be taken off only when the fuel
pump is to be installed. Takeoff of the filter net at fuel inlet is absolutely not allowed. The foreign
material that enters the fuel inlet of the fuel pump or the filter net may lead to damage of the fuel
pump.
8.5 Failure effects and judgment method
l Failure effect: strong running noise, poor acceleration, failure to start (starting difficulties) etc.
l Reasons for general failures: use of inferior fuel leads to:
1. Accumulated colloid became insulation layer;
2. Fuel pump bushing and armature blocked;
3. Components of fuel level sensor eroded.
l Maintenance precautions:
1. The electric fuel pump has different flow according to the requirement of engine. The pump
with same shape and possible to assemble perhaps is not available. For service, the part number of
replaced fuel pump must be in conformity with the original ones;
2. Do not run the pump at dry status to prevent the pump from accident;
3. Please pay attention to take cleaning measures for fuel tank and pipeline and replace fuel
filter in case replace fuel pump.
Simple measurement method:
1. With the joint removed, swift the digital multimeter on ohm shift, connect the two meter pens
to two pins of pump respectively to measure the inner resistance, it is indicated that is not at zero or
infinite (that is non short circuit, open circuit status).
2. With the joint connected, connect the fuel pressure gauge onto the sucker, start the engine
and then observe if the fuel pump works; if the fuel pump does not run, check if mains voltage is
present at “+” pin; if the fuel pump works, under idling mode, check if the fuel pressure is about
400kPa.

9. Injector

9.1 Function of injector:


ECU controls the coil of the injector through pulse to make the injector open or close, so that,
appropriate fuel will be injected into air intake pipe in due time to mix with air.
9.2 Working principle:
ECU sends electrical impulse to injector coil to form magnetic field force. When magnetic field
force increase to resultant force that enough to conquer return spring pressure, needle valve gravity
and friction force, the needle valve begin to rise up and start the injection process. The pressure of
return spring makes needle valve close again when the injection impulse is stopped.

The injector can only use the fuel in compliance with the provisions in GB 17930-1999 (for

gasoline), and detergent is required to be added into gasoline. It should be specially pointed out that
too long storage of gasoline may make it deteriorate. Especially, the taxi with a (LPG and gasoline)
dual-fuel engine uses LPG as fuel long and gasoline is only used for startup, so, daily consumption
of gasoline is little. However, because the fuel pump runs long, so the temperature of fuel tank is
quite high. If gasoline is stored in the fuel tank of such auto, it may quite liable to oxidation and
deterioration, which may lead to choke even damage of injector.
9.4 Installation attentions
l Use specific connector for certain injector and no mixed use will be allowable.
l For installation convenience, it is recommended to daub silica-free clean engine oil on the
surface of the O-ring at the upside of the injector where it connects with the fuel distributing
pipe. Be careful not to let engine oil contaminate inside of the injector and the nozzle.
l Place the injector in its bracket vertically along injector bracket, then fix it to the bracket with
retaining clips. Note:
① By location mode, the remaining clips for injector fall into axial location remaining clip and
axial and radial location remaining clip; misuse should be avoided.
② For installation of an axially located injector, make sure that the bayonet at middle of the
remaining clip is completely locked into the groove of the injector and the grooves at both sides
of the remaining clip are completely locked into the outskirt flanging of the injector seat.
③ When installing an injector that both axial and radial locations are required, use an axial and
radial location remaining clip and place the locating piece of the injector and the locating pin of
the injector seat respectively into the corresponding grooves on the location remaining clip.
④ If the injector has two grooves, be careful not to place by mistake, refer to the installation site
of the original.
l Installation of injector should be done by hand and knocking the injector with such tools as
hammer etc. is prohibited.
l When disassemble/reassemble the fuel injector, the O ring must be replaced. And pay attention
to not damage the sealing surface of the injector.
l Do not pull the support gasket of O-ring out of the injector. When installing, avoid damage to
fuel inlet end, support ring, nozzle plate and electric connector of the injector. If damaged, use
is prohibited.
l After installation of injector, perform leakproofness detection for fuel distributing pipe
assembly. It is acceptable only when no leakage exists.
l The failure part must be disassembled by hand. Remove remaining clip of the injector first, and
then pull out the injector from the injector seat. After disassembly, ensure cleanliness of the
injector seat and avoid contamination.
9.5 Failure effects and judgment method
l Failure effects: Poor idling, poor acceleration, failure to start (starting difficulties) etc.
l Reasons for general failures: failure caused by colloid accumulation inside the injector due to
lack of maintenance.
l Maintenance precautions: (see installation attentions)
l Simple measure method:
(remove the joint) swift the digital multimeter on ohm shift, connect the meter pens to the two pins
of injector. The rated resistance should be 11 - 16Ω¸ when it is 20℃.
Suggestion: regularly wash and analyze the injector using a special washer analyzer for injector.

10. Ignition Coil

10.1 Function of ignition coil:


Primary and secondary circuits are integrated inside the ignition coil; when ECU controls
on-off of current in the primary coil, a high voltage as high as thousands volts will be generated in
the secondary coil, which will then generate spark through ignition cable and spark plug to ignite the
mixed air in the cylinder.
10.2 Working principle
Ignition coil ZS - K2×2 consists of two primary windings, two secondary windings, mandrel, and
casing. When one of the primary windings grounding channel is connected, the primary winding is
in charging. Once the primary winding circuit is cut off by ECU, the charging will be stopped. At the
same time, the high voltage is sensed in the secondary winding and making the spark plug
discharging. There is a different with the distributor ignition coil: for the ignition coil ZS - K2×2,
there is one spark plug on both side of the secondary winding, so the both spark plugs can ignite at
the same time. These two primary windings power on/off alternatively, correspondently, these two
secondary windings discharge alternatively.

l Reasons for the failures: burn out due to too strong current, damage by external force etc.
l Maintenance precautions: use of “test ignition by short circuit” to test the ignition function is
prohibited during maintenance to avoid damage to the electronic controller.
l Simple measurement method:

With the joint removed, turn the digital multimeter to Ohm shift, and then connect the two meter
pens respectively to the two pins of primary winding. At 20℃, the resistance should be 0.42-0.58Ω,
while this value of secondary winding should be 11.2-14.8kΩ.
11. Spark Plug

The operating conditions of spark plug is extremely inclement, it is exposed to high pressure,
high temperature and impact as well as strong corrosion from combustion product; therefore, it is a
wearing part.

11.1 Outline drawing

Covered with rivet Covered with rivet

Mono-pole Triple-pole

11.2 Thermal performance


The spark plug must maintain a proper temperature to keep good working order. Practically,
when insulator skirt of the spark plug maintains a temperature of 500-700℃, the oil drop that falls
on the insulator can be burnt away immediately without carbon deposit formed. This temperature
is called “self cleaning temperature of spark plug”. With a temperature below this scope, the spark
plug is liable to carbon deposit and electric leakage, thus causing ignition failure; with a temperature
above this scope, when the mixed air is contacting with the red-hot insulator, pre-ignition may occur
to produce knock, even it may burn in intake stroke and cause backfire.

11.3 Potential failures due to fall of ignition performance of spark plug


Starting difficulties, unsteady speed, chatter of engine, black smoke out of exhaust pipe, high
fuel consumption and poor power.

11.4 Judge if the vehicle status matches with the spark plug type through color of spark plug
Yellow, brown yellow normal indicates that the combustion status of mixed air is normal
Black with carbon deposit carbon deposit check if the spark plug type matches and then
replace with the spark plug with lower heat value (slow heat radiation).
Black with blot soot clean if the injector nozzle is dirty
Dilute if the mixture ratio of oil gas is too big.
Check ignition coil etc. if the high voltage is poor.
Black with oil stain combustion of engine oil check sealing status of the seal ring and if
scratch is present on the cylinder wall.
Pearl overheating check if the spark plug type matches, and then replace with the spark plug
with lower heat value (rapid heat radiation).
11.6 Regular replacement and use overdue
The spark plug is the low-value consumption goods. Though cheaper compared with other
matching parts, its ignition performance directly affects the performance of the engine. Therefore, it
needs regular replacement. For the spark plug used in our vehicles, we suggest that you should
replace the spark plug at the following mileages: 10,000-15,000 km (single electrode);
15,000-25,000 km (multi electrode).
Ignition performance fall of spark plug will make fuel consumption rise and power drop off.
The economic loss caused by excessive fuel consumption unconsciously will even afford to
hundreds of new spark plugs. Use overdue makes the working condition of the engine poor in long
term and brings some damage to the engine.
11.7 Inspection and maintenance of the spark plug
The inspection items for spark plug mainly include carbon deposit, electrode burn through, gap,
and sealing and spark jump performances of the spark plug etc.
The electrode gap of the spark plug should be 0.7-0.9mm. Too small electrode gap will reduce
the breakdown voltage and weaken the spark intensity; while too big electrode gap will increase the
voltage required by the spark plug and cause spark out, especially when the ignition coil is aging and
the ignition system is in poor maintenance, spark out is more liable to occur.
Common failures of spark plug: fall in sealing performance, air leak and soot at the air leakage
position. The above failures can be inspected and judged through sealing performance test and spark
jump test. Both sealing performance test and spark jump test can be conducted on a spark plug
cleaning tester.
It is unscientific that some drivers and maintenance professionals remove the spark plug from
the engine, place it on the cylinder head and inspect if it is in sound conditions using high voltage of
the vehicle. In this test, the spark plug electrode is under an atmosphere other than a gas pressure of
over 800KPa, its working pressure. Therefore, spark jump of a spark plug under an atmosphere
does not indicate that it will also reliably produce spark jump under a high pressure conditions in the
cylinder.
It is required that carbon deposit disposal and proper adjustment of spark plug gap should be
done after a mileage of 10,000-15,000 km in its lifetime. When the temperature in cylinder rises, the
electrode gap should be increased properly. That is, increase the electrode gap in summer while
reduce it in winter. If the mixed air is strong, the electrode gap should be increased; otherwise,
decreased. In plain region, the electrode gap should be decreased while in plateau region, increased.

12. Carbon Canister Solenoid Valve Control

12.1 Function:
Carbon canister solenoid valve is a device used to enable the fuel steam in fuel tank to enter
cylinder to combust through control of ECU. Through controlling duty cycle of a solenoid valve,
ECU can accomplish open and close of the solenoid valve.
12.2 Working principle:
The canister control valve is composed of solenoid, armature iron and valve etc. There is a filter
net at the inlet. The airflow through the canister control valve at one hand depends on the duty cycle
of the electric pulse output of canister control valve by ECU, and at another hand depends on the
pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the canister control valve. The canister control
valve will be closed when there is not any electric pulse.

12.4 Installation attentions


See above installation drawing for connection among canister control valve, carbon canister and
intake manifold.
l In order to avoid transfer of solid borne noise, floating installation of the canister control valve
on the hose is recommended.
l During installation, make sure that the airflow direction meets the specification.
l Appropriate measures such as filtering and purge etc. must be taken to prevent such foreign
material as particles from entry into the canister control valve from carbon canister or hose.
It is recommended that a corresponding protective strainer (size of grid<50µm) should be
installed on outlet of carbon canister.
12.5. Failure effects and judgment method
l Failure effects: Failure of functions etc.
Reasons for general failure: corrosion or poor sealing performance etc. due to entry of foreign
material into inside of the valve.
l Maintenance precautions:
1. During installation, make sure that the airflow direction meets the specification;
2. In case of control valve failure due to black particle inside the valve body, when replacement
of the control valve is required, check the status of the canister;
3. During maintenance, try to avoid entry of such liquid as water and oil etc. into the valve;
4. In order to avoid transfer of solid borne noise, floating installation of the canister control
valve on the hose is recommended.
l Simple measurement method:
With the joint removed, turn the digital multimeter to Ohm shift, and then connect the two
meter pens respectively to both pins of the canister control valve. The rated resistance at 20℃ should
read 26±4Ω.

13. Electronic Accelerator Pedal

13.1 Function:
The electronic accelerator pedal has cancelled the conventional throttle guy and the position of
accelerator pedal is fed back to ECU by means of electronic signal, through which ECU can
calculate and control the action of the electronic accelerator pedal. Two sets of Hall sensors are
integrated in the pedal; ECU can compare and analyze the two signals, if one signal is improper,
ECU will duly access the other signal and light the failure indicator.
13.2 Working principle:
The pedal is a Hall sensor. The fixed Hall generator and signal processing circuit are installed
on fixed mounting of the pedal. The two permanent magnets with different magnetic sheet thickness
act together with the pedal. When the pedal acts, the magnetic flux passing the Hall generator will
also change accordingly, the signal processing circuit will process these signals and then send them
to ECU.
13.3 Detection:
The relationship between the two signals of the accelerator pedal is that signal 1 is equal to
signal voltage.
At idle speed position, the voltage of signal 1 is 4.59 and that of signal 2 is 4.30. When the
pedal is at middle position, the voltage will be the minimum; when the pedal is at either end position,
the voltage will be the maximum.

14. Three-way Catalytic Converter

14.1 Function:
Three-way catalytic converter is used to convert the noxious gas in tail gas into such innocuous
gases as carbon dioxide and water etc. At 300-800℃, the conversion efficiency of three-way
catalytic converter is maximum; with a temperature below this scope, the conversion efficiency will
be very poor, while, with a temperature above this scope, the three-way catalytic converter may be
burnt out. Three-way catalytic converter can exert better conversion efficiency only when the
oxygen sensor works. In control strategies of ECU, there are several protective modes for three-way
catalytic converter, and ECU can protect the three-way catalytic converter by regulating air-fuel ratio
and ignition advance angle.

15. Fan Control

15.1 Function:
In order to abstract heat from engine system and from condenser with A/C turned on, fan
control is affected by the signal to ECU sent by water temperature sensor; When water temperature
is high (above the threshold value set by ECU), the fan will run, and when water temperature is low
(below the threshold value set by ECU), the fan will also run; with A/C turned on, the fan will run at
low speed.
15.2 Composition:
DC electric motor double fan (high and low speed change).
15.3 Installation requirements:
The fan is installed between the rear of radiator and the engine, be careful when installing: not
to damage fin of fan blade, otherwise, running noise of the fan will increase, if serious, it may lead to
sharp fall of heat radiation effect of the engine.
15.4 Failure diagnosis:
Fan control circuit is a short or open circuit to ground;
The fan has failure itself;
Too loud fan noise;
Failure in power supply circuit of fan.
15.5 Troubleshooting:
First, validate whether it is a high speed fan system problem or a low speed fan system problem.
Provided that this is a fan control system problem, use a diagnostic tester to locate the failure point,
and then validate whether it is a short-circuit or a break in control circuit.
Failure symptom: the fan failure may result in rise of engine coolant temperature and poor
refrigeration of A/C system.

4. Engine coolant temperature exceeds 70.5℃, delay 60s.

16. Position Sensor of Double Brake Pedal

16.1 Function:
制动开关传感器是将刹车信号送给 ECU,ECU 根据(原文不全)
16.2 Working principle:
Inside the brake switch, there are two mutually independent switches with one normal close and
the other normal open. After applying the accelerator pedal, the former normal close switch turns to
be normal open, while the normal open one turns to be normal close. Both signals will be sent to
ECU to be used to control other systems. Whenever the two signals disaccord, ECU will enter failure
mode, the electronic throttle will not respond when applying the accelerator pedal and the engine
will maintain idle speed working state.
Composition: the double brake switch is installed on the bracket of the brake pedal and contains two
independent switches inside.
Installation requirement: the assembly is installed on the pedal and there is a thread adjusting
mechanism on the switch for stroke adjustment of the switch and effective stroke adjustment of the
brake switch.

17. Clutch Position Sensor

17.1 Function:
Clutch position switch provides ECU with the signal of clutch position, but this signal can only
be used to distinguish between disengaging and engaging positions of the clutch.
17.2 Working principle:
ECU provides clutch position switch with a 12V power supply; when the clutch is under
disengaging state, the power supply will ground and ECU will lose 12V high potential signal, by
which the position of the clutch can be judged.

Clutch position switch







18. A/C Control

By receiving the A/C signal from A/C switch, ECU can control working of A/C compressor.
ECU also can receive the signals from high and low pressure switches of A/C to ensure safety of A/C
system. When A/C signal is sent to ECU through high and low pressure switches, if the low pressure
switch breaks, ECU will not receive the A/C signal; the compressor is thus unable to work. If A/C
system has a too high pressure, the high pressure switch will break and A/C signal can not be
provided to ECU; so, ECU will immediately cut off the compressor. When system pressure is normal
or a little higher (medium pressure), the medium pressure switch will cut in; thus, ECU can control
the fan to run immediately at high speed to ensure a system pressure within the normal range.
Cut off pressure of the low pressure switch: 0.12Mpa
Cut-in pressure of the medium voltage switch: 1.6Mpa
Cut off pressure of the high pressure switch: 3.2Mpa
Through evaporator temperature sensor of the A/C system, ECU
can also protect the A/C system and prevent evaporator case from
freezing. When the temperature provided by the evaporator

Chapter Two Fundamental Principle for Failure Diagnosis of
Electronic Fuel Injection System

1. Failure Information Records

The ECU monitors sensor, actuator, related circuit, malfunction indicator and
battery voltage etc., and even EUC itself continuously. At the same time, the ECU
inspect the reliability test on sensor signal output, actuator driving signal and internal
signal (e.g.: closed loop control, knock control, idle speed control and accumulator
voltage control etc.). ECU will set the malfunction record on RAM malfunction
memory immediately once the malfunction or the unlikelihood signal is detected. The
failure information records are stored in the form of diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and
are displayed in the precedence order of occurrence of the failures.
Failures can be divided into “stable state failures” and “random failures” (for example,
caused by transient open circuit of wires or poor contact of inserted parts) by failure
frequency.

2. Failure State

Once duration of occurrence of an identified failure exceeds the given stabilization time
for the first time, ECU will account it as a stable failure and then store it as a “stable
state failure”. If this failure disappears, it will be stored as a “random failure” and
“non-existent”. If this failure is identified again, it will still be a “random failure”, but a
“existent” early failure that will not affect average service of the engine.

3. Failure Types

Short circuit to positive pole of power supply


Short circuit to ground
Open circuit (for the case where there are pull-up resistors or pull-down resistors during
input stage, ECU will recognize failure of open circuit at input port as that of short
circuit to positive pole of power supply or that of short circuit to ground)
Signals can not be used

4. Failure Frequency Counter

For every identified failure, a separate frequency counter numerical value (Hz) will be
set.
This numerical value (Hz) for frequency counter determines the time this failure
information record will be stored in memory after the identified failure disappears (after
troubleshooting).
When a failure is identified for the first time, Hz will be set as its initial value 40. If
failure status does not change, then this numerical value will maintain all along.
Once it is identified that this failure has disappeared and the state has held for a certain
time, whenever the engine starts with success (its engine speed has exceeded the value
at end of starting) once, Hz will decrease by 1. At this point, ECU will believe that this
failure has disappeared, but the failure information record still exists.
If a failure (for example, as a result of poor contact) frequently appears and disappears,
then Hz will increase by 1, but will not exceed its given upper limit value 100.
If value of Hz has been decreased to zero, the failure information records in this failure
memory will be completely cleared.

5. Limp Home

For some identified significant failures, when duration exceeds the given
stabilization time, ECU will take appropriate software countermeasures, for example,
closing some control functions such as closed loop control of oxygen sensor etc. and
setting substituted values for some data that are considered to be suspect and so forth.
At this point, though the working condition of the engine is comparatively poor, the
auto can still run. The purpose to do this is to enable the auto limply run home or to a
service station for overhaul, so as to avoid the embarrassment that the auto breaks down
on highway or afield. Once it is identified that the failure has disappeared and Hz has
fell to below 40, use of normal data will be resumed again.

6. Failure Alert

In the electric control system, when failure take places in any of such important
parts as ECU, absolute pressure sensor in intake manifold, throttle position sensor,
coolant temperature sensor, knock sensor, oxygen sensor, phase sensor, injector, two
driver stages of step motor of idle speed actuator, canister control valve, or fan relay at
corresponding failure location, ECU will give an alarm through lightening of failure
indicator lamp until this failure location restores.

7. Readout of Failure

The failure information records can be called out of ECU through a trouble diagnosis
tester. If the failure relates to the function of mixed air (fuel and air) proportional
regulator, then the engine must at least run for 4 minutes before reading out failure
information records; especially for failure in oxygen sensor, be sure not to detect data
until the engine runs and warms up.
- -
Figure 3-1 ISO 9141-2 Standard Diagnostic Connector

8. Clearing Failure Information Records

After the failure is removed, the failure information records in memory should be
cleared. The diagnostic trouble code can be cleared through the following approaches:
When the numerical value of frequency counter in ECU reaches zero, the failure
information records in failure memory will be automatically cleared.
Employing fault diagnostic tester to clear records of failure with the instruction of “reset
memory for records of failure”.
Pulling out connectors of ECU or disconnecting wires of battery to clear records of
failure in external ram.

9. Failure Locating

After obtaining failure information records through above means, only rough
location where the failure takes place is aware, but this does not mean that the failure
has been located; because the cause that triggers a piece of failure information may be
damage of electric element (such as sensor, actuator or ECU etc.), lead break, lead
short-circuit to ground or anode of battery, even may be mechanical failure.
The failure is intrinsic and the result of its extrinsic representations is a variety of
symptoms. After a symptom is found, first, check for failure information records with a
trouble diagnosis tester or based on the flash code, after that, remove the correlated
failure in accordance with the failure information, and then locate the failure based on
symptom of the engine.

54#, 36#; or, turn blade of the throttle to observe
if its resistance value jumps and if the resistance
values between 1#, 4# and 6# change
accordingly with rotation of throttle.
5 Connect an adaptor between ECU and harness, Yes Repair or replace
use a multimeter respectively check if it is break wire harness
or short circuit between 1#, 2#, 6# and 4# pins
No Replace ECU
of the sensor and 10#, 32#, 36# and 54# pins of
ECU joint.

Note: This auto adopts the electronic throttle body and has cancelled former step motor,
and the functions that were accomplished by the stop motor on a common throttle body
are now completely accomplished by the throttle driving motor. The electronic throttle
can not be repaired and failure rate of the throttle body is very low, if damaged,
replacing the assembly is the only choice to deal with the problem.

Special attention: The electronic throttle body can not be disassembled and repaired at
service station; in addition, after replacing electronic throttle body, be sure to let it carry
out self-study; otherwise, unsteady working at idle speed of engine may occur. See also
the section about electronic throttle for detailed study scheme. Maintenance of the
throttle body is analogous to that of the common valve body.
11.2 Knock Sensor failure

Note: Generally, knock sensor is not liable to damage. When disassembling and installing the knock
sensor, be careful not to leave dirt on the contact surface of the sensor and the engine body and do
not add any gasket. If the sensor is damaged, it will have an comparatively great effect on
economical efficiency and emission of the engine. After the knock sensor is damaged, the electric
control system of the engine will lock ignition advance angle of the engine at a fixed ignition angle,
so, the acceleration performance of the engine will fall and economical efficiency and emission of
the engine will also be greatly affected.

12. Steps for Implementation of Failure Diagnosis by Engine

Symptom

12.1 Perform Preliminary Inspection First before Following the Steps for
Implementation of Failure Diagnosis by Engine Symptom.

(1) Make sure that ECU and failure indicator lamp (or EPC lamp) have no off-normal
phenomenon (excluding the models that have no failure indicator lamp).
(2) Use a failure diagnostic tester to check and make sure no failure information record
exists.
(3) Employ failure diagnostic tester to check that hot idle data from electronic control
system fall within normal scope.

Hot idle speed parameter table:

Note: For an electric control motor with the electronic throttle body, the main actuators of its air intake
system are air flow meter and electronic throttle body. Air flow meter has very high operational reliability
and very low failure rate, while, due to particularity of road status in China and affected by operating
environment, choke is liable to occur between valve plate and valve body of the electronic throttle body,
which may obstruct air from entering the engine and result in extinguish of engine.

13. Safety Precautions for System Maintenance

13.1 Safety Precautions for Diagnosis and Maintenance of Gasoline

Injection Electronic Control System

(1) Disassembly and assembly requirements for electronic control unit (ECU):

Controllers shall be removed before welding or paint-baking;


When disassembling and installing the controller, be sure to set ignition switch to
CLOSE position and disconnect the battery with the system for fear to damage the
engine control unit during disassembly and installation.
Power supply wires shall not be removed from battery when engine is in operation or
electric system is in use;
Do not use such heavy current equipment as charger etc. to start the engine by direct
bridging;
Note that the ambient temperature for the controller should not exceed 80℃.

(2) Requirements for cleanness: the following rules should be observed for any
operation on oil-supply system and oil-injection system:
The parts removed should be place at a clean site and covered properly; do not use the
cloth (cotton cloth and gauze) with falling off fibre;

(3) Connect and disconnect the connectors of all sorts of harnesses and the connectors
of failure diagnosis testers only after the ignition switch is turned off.
When measuring mains voltage or ground wire grounding of the electronic control
system, be sure to check if the connection order and mode are correct;
Disconnect power cord or ground wire of battery from the system and disconnect
harness connector of ECU; both operation modes above may cause loss of information
about diagnosis and self-study stored in ECU (the retention time of information after the
ECU installed is power off depends on the model).

(4) Attentions during maintenance of fuel feed system (fuel feed line, fuel pump
and fuel injection system):

Disassembly or installation of oil pump on the tank full of oil or partly full of oil,
please note:
Before operation, get material ready near the fuel tank opening for absorption of heavy
discharging fuel, so that, the fuel discharged can be duly absorbed;
Avoid skin from direct contact with gasoline as best as you can;
Before loosening a connection part, thoroughly clean this part and the area around the
connecting pieces;
Dishcloth shall be placed around the connecting part for avoide oil-spraying;
If disassembled parts can not be repaired or for other processing immediately, store
them properly.
The spare parts can be taken out of their package only when they are to be installed; do
not use the spare parts without package or with package heavily damaged;
When installing an injector, be careful not to damage the O-gaskets at both ends of the
injector; for installation convenience, apply a little lubricant on the O-gaskets.
After fuel and fuel feed systems are disassembled, avoid use of compressed air and
move of the vehicle as best as you can.

(5) Safety precaution


In order to avoid maintenance technical personnel from being injured and fuel injection
and ignition devices from being damaged, please note:
In case the engine is running or under starting speed, disconnection of ignition
harness is forbidden. Checking the engine for poor working of single cylinder by means
of spark test with ignition cable disconnected is not allowed;
if it is required to drag the engine by the starter without starting the engine itself,
for example, in the case of inspection of cylinder pressure of engine etc., disconnect the
harness connectors on engine revolution sensor and camshaft (phase) sensor and
connect each sensor properly after the corresponding job has finished, and then use a
special diagnostic tester for Chery to clear the failure codes in the system;
When the engine is running at high speed, touching wheel train of engine and
revolving parts are forbidden;
When the engine reaches normal operating temperature, both water temperature
and pressure of cooling system are very high; therefore, in case maintenance for the
cooling system of engine is required, perform corresponding operations only after the
engine has stopped and the cooling system has been fully cooled.
When maintaining fuel system of engine, if maintenance for engine compartment
is involved, perform the operations only after temperature inside engine compartment of
the vehicle has adequately fell;
Under a state that power on of the system is normal, do not touch cooling fan of
the engine by hand at any time, because the cooling fan may start up abruptly.
